Pour la petite histoire, il s’agit de la fille de The Edge sur la pochette. Songs of Experience se présentera comme une collection de chansons intimes dédiées aux proches du groupe. Dans une interview au New York Times, Bono dit aussi que ce disque est sa réponse aux élections qui ont eu lieu aux Etats-Unis et en Europe: “The elections were a shock to the system personally and a shock to the system politically, not just in America but in Europe. This is my lyrical response to both of those shocks. I leaned more on the personal than the political, but the political is there to put the personal songs in the context of time, of history.”

Voici ce que disent les paroles de “You’re The Best Thing About Me”:

‘You’re the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You’re the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy…’
